When Hegseth spoke about the National Guard shooting, he said:
“I mentioned the faith of this country. The Christian faith”
Why is he invoking Christian nationalism?
The US is not a Christian country.
It’s a country with the freedom to practice whatever religion you want.

Disgusted to hear of the targeted shooting of National Guard members in DC today. All Americans should unite in condemning and rejecting this violence. Sending prayers to these victims and their families, and thankful to the responders who acted so quickly.

Violence has no place in America. Michelle and I are praying for the servicemembers shot in Washington, DC today, and send our love to their families as they enter this holiday season under the most tragic of circumstances.

A HUGE win for James Comey in his criminal case.
A federal judge orders the DOJ to turnover ALL OF THE GRAND JURY MATERIALS to Comey's defense team.
About to drop a new episode walking through the details of this scathing order on my YouTube channel!

“Sir, if there’s nothing incriminating in the files–,” the reporter said before being interrupted.
“Quiet! Quiet!” he told her.
I wish wherever he went he would hear a loud chorus of Epstein, Epstein, Epstein.

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office
He is cooked, get him out of there ASAP—before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

The president of the United States is on his way to an NFL game after a weekend spent partying at his country club and fighting to starve poor Americans.
And Senate Democrats want to surrender to him?!
Fuck that and fuck them.

Before the disgusting GOP cut SNAP and are now fighting court orders ordering them to quit their psychosis & feed Americans, they cut USAID which has already *starved 100’s of 1000’s of human beings worldwide to death.*
Barbaric isn’t enough to describe such depravity.
*Well* past “politics.”

SNAP funds will be paid in full, proving that the USDA was always capable of paying the full November benefit.
Remember that the Trump admin chose to let people go hungry.
They chose not to fund SNAP until a court forced their hand.
They chose cruelty and pain.

This is big. The new anti-Trump coalition depends on the very working families that billionaire-ran monopolies exploit.
Mamdani having antitrust enforcer Lina Khan on his team is going to keep monopolies and hedge fund managers like Bill Ackman (stay in your lane) in NYC up at night :)
